    You can't have it both ways with the media. This is Tiger's holiday lesson. Then, ironically, some will claim it is a biased media trying to smear him.

    At the end of the statement was Tiger asked to use the word Dictate in a sentence?

    Which one fits better, now?

    a) Tag Heuer: What are you made of?
    b) Tag Heuer: Success. It's a mind game
    c) Tag Heuer: Don't crack under pressure
    d) Tag Heuer: Precision. It's six-HO-five.

    I do think how you handle yourself and the media eventually will come back to bite you.

    Take Liberace, for example. In an era when homosexuality frowned upon much more so than now, he was so obviously gay and out there that when it became a story that he was gay no one really cared.

    Tiger was always careful to guard his image and present this perfect picture to the public and when it seems he was running around and not even really being circumspect about it, you get hammered because the media looks like chumps.

    If he always hung around hotties and had rotating bikini models as his caddies each week, no one would really care that he was fooling around.

    Tiger can still count on the golf media. This from Golf Digest. A cursory glance shows two staff columns on recent events. One, by Ron Sirak from Woods' tournament this week, says that Tiger deserves his privacy and concludes with this:

    "But the most important winners here this week will be the children benefited by the Tiger Woods Foundation. For those who say Tiger Woods owes the world an explanation about anything, it might be worth noting that everything he has done off the golf course -- including his extensive charitable work -- has been done privately, without explanation."

    So many golf writers have been trying to get into Woods' circle of trust that it's hardly a surprise some are selling their journalistic souls to do it.

    Now that Woods has been taken down can someone please do the same to Lance Armstrong. Talk about another philandering douchebag.

    Taken down? Let's see...after this, he'll still be the best golfer in the world and one of the richest people on the planet. People will still pay lots of money to see him golf. Not a bad life.

    Now....exposed as a cheating husband? Yup. Taken down? Not really.

    Off his pedestal... Obviously, he's still the best player in the world.

    Yeah. I get what you were saying. It's definitely not been a good week for him.

    Kobe got his endorsements back and he's a rapist. This is nothing.

    Still, most people will now see Tiger for the phony ho-banging sleaze he is, which is a plus.
